Chapter 683 Doing The Opposite


    Holley paused and continued,"Donna''s objection of me is perfectly understandable considering the


    huge difference in our social status and family background. I think it will take a long time before Donna


    could ept me and see my potentials."


    "Holley, sweetheart," George wanted to console her. George frowned a little and said,"I love you


    because of your kindness, fortitude and magnanimity. I love you for who you are. You do not need to


    feel pressured every time we are together."

    "I truly appreciate your unsparing devotion to me, George." Holley smiled at George. "I invited Donna to


    this dinner because I want to show my deepest apology for failing to pick her up at the airport on time. I


    know that my failure led to subsequent unpleasant encounters between the two of you. I want to make


    up for it. Also, I want her to give our rtionship her blessing."


    Holley sighed and continued,"If Donna will give us her blessing, our love will be blessed two times.


    However, if she still refuses to ept our rtionship, we will still remain devoted to each other. We


    will not let it affect our rtionship."


    "I still believe that Donna will consider our rtionship someday." Holley smiled and drew George''s


    hand affectionately.


    "I also do not want to see you being torn between Donna and me," Holley added coquettishly.


    Holley rested her head on George''s shoulder. "I don''t want you to fall out with Donna because of me.


    Otherwise, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life. Do you understand?"


    "Holley..." George murmured. He was deeply touched. He was at a loss for words.


    Holley was satisfied at winning George''s heart. Thus, George agreed to wait for Donna so they could


    dine together. However, Donna and S arrived veryte.


    One hour of waiting plus Donna''s arrogant attitude when they arrived were good enough to upset


    George.


    George nced at Donna and said begrudgingly,"How could you let us wait for too long? You should


    have refused our invitation instead."


    "George, please hold back your temper." Holley tried to smooth over the situation in order to maintain


    an agreeable atmosphere.


    But for Holley''s intervention, George could easily just dismiss this dinner party.


    Donna sneered and replied,"What Holley did previously was much more uneptable than myte


    arrival today."


    George flew into a rage upon hearing Donna''s aggressive remarks. He gave her a cold smile and


    said,"Mom, you are free to leave now!"


    "George, please calm down." Holley clung to George''s arm as she tried to ease the tension.


    Meanwhile, S whispered to Donna,"Donna, the more you show your disgust towards Holley, the


    more you upset George. Also, you are just giving Holley more chances of winning against us."


    Realizing S''s words, Donna held her tongue.


    Sensing the growing hostility between Donna and George, Holley asked the waiter to serve the food.


    When all the dishes were served, she motioned Donna to taste the roasted pork belly and said,"This


    restaurant has been one of the bests here in Y City for more than two decades. They are well-known


    for their special dishes. Please give it a try." She paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and


    continued,"Aunt Donna, I invited you for dinner today because I want to present myself humbly before


    you."


    George had already informed Holley of Donna''s food preferences so she was proud to present the


    dishes she ordered for her.


    "Spare me your ttery." Donna gave Holley a cold smile. Then she added in a satirical tone,"Just like


    what others say, ''Dining with a friend or a rtive is truly a pleasure while dining with an enemy is a


    misery''. Do you know what that means?"


    Holley was fully aware of Donna''s aversion to her.


    But she must do her best to hide her displeasure to Donna in front of George.


    Otherwise, she would lose in this game.


    So Holley braced herself to talk to Donna in a soft tone,"Donna, why won''t you give me an opportunity


    to mend my rtionship with you?"


    "Stop your scheming!" Donna shouted with a sneer. "I will never ever get along with you. So, your


    countless cunning would be in vain."


    George couldn''t take Donna''s words anymore. It was already difficult for him to maintain hisposure


    so he immediately spoke,"How could you talk to Holley so arrogantly and crudely, Mom? She is already


    doing her best to please you." "I think there is no need for us to talk anymore. You are free to leave


    now," he added.


    "Enough of this fight and dispute," S spoke up. She put on a mask of a mediator. "You are a family.


    You are supposed to be bound by love, not by hatred."


    S then turned to Donna and said,"We came here to mend your rtionship with George. Stop


    making a fool of ourselves."


    Understanding S''s meaning, Donna gradually calmed herself down to regain herposure.


    When she saw that Donna got her message, S turned to Holley and smiled. "Holley, can you pass


    me that dish? That is actually one of my favorites."


    Holley gave S the dish she ordered. She marveled at S''s ingenuity which was much superior to


    Donna''s.
